Safety Instructions for Specific Phases of Operation
Defects and damage to the machine are to be reported immediately after detection.
Any mode of operation that compromises safety is prohibited!
Sufficient lighting around the machine must be ensured!
4.3.1
Normal Operation
Guards:
Take measures to ensure that the machine can only be operated in a safe and functional condi-
tion. Only operate the machine when all guards and safety-related devices such as
- detachable guards (e. g. TXF 1570, TX MATIC or SUVAMATIC),
- emergency stop units,
- noise insulations,
- extraction system,
- separating protective devices
are available and functional.
Knife change:
Change and adjust the knifes as described in chapter
The fence must always be securely fastened when changing the knives.
Workpiece:
Before the operation, check the workpiece for
- foreign inclusions
- knots
- twists (contortions)
and other irregularities.
Workpieces that are longer than the infeed or outfeed table must be additionally supported
(e.g. with support rollers or similar).
Due to the automatic feed, make sure that there is sufficient space on the removal side in front of station-
ary obstacles (danger of crushing!).
Auxiliary equipment:
For surface planing and jointing of short workpieces that do not allow a safe hand
support, push blocks are to be used. The shape of the push block must be adapted to the workpiece.
Machine condition:
Check the machine for externally visible damage and defects at least once per shift!
Any changes that have occurred (including those in the operating behaviour) must be reported immedi-
ately to the responsible office or person! If necessary, stop and secure the machine immediately!
Extraction:
The machine must be connected to an effective extraction system.
This requires a mean flow velocity of 20 m/s.
Working area:
An obstacle-free working area around the machine is essential for safe operation. Ensure
that there is sufficient space on the outfeed side. When using a feed unit, there is a risk of crushing from
the workpiece. The floor should be level, well maintained and free of debris such as chips and cut work-
pieces.
Planing area during operation:
Never try to remove offcuts, chips or other parts from the planing area
while the machine is running! Never use your hands to remove!
Workpiece inspection:
Inspect the workpiece for foreign inclusions, knots, twists and other irregularities.
Lighting:
The working area should be sufficiently bright due to general or local lighting.
Work interruptions:
Switch off the machine even during short interruptions! Never leave the machine
running unattended!
Leaving the machine:
Switch off the control voltage and main switch before leaving the machine. Never
leave the machine unattended in an unsecured state.
